Hearty Chipotle Chicken Soup

Wednesday already!? Always a good thing 😀 With no class on Monday thanks to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, this week has been easy breezy compared to the last few. And tonight, even better…my students are taking their first exam. I do hope they’ve been preparing…whomp whomp!

Thanks for all of your pineapple suggestions! I agree, fresh pineapple is probably my favorite way to enjoy the stuff, but I may have to try my hand at Hawaiian pizza this weekend. I know Mr. Prevention won’t be first in line for a slice, but maybe I can convert him? 😉 He’s never been a fan of ham, but there’s just nothing like Hawaiian pizza in my book…especially homemade!

So I mentioned that Mama Prevention had planned to try a few healthy, Taste of Home recipes while I was in Chicago last weekend. We actually made this recipe on Saturday night but I enjoyed it SO much that I had to make it this week. Delicious, and quick, easy, and healthy. Win…win…win!

Result: Delicious! I recommend a bit more adobo sauce if you like it spicy, but this soup is packed with flavor regardless. It is low in calories and high in fiber and protein so it is comes with a lot of staying power. Mr. P said it reminded him of tortilla soup, and I see some similarities, too. Enjoy!

In weight-loss news, I am down 4.6 pounds in the past 2 weeks! I am very pleased! I have been VERY aware of portion sizes, increasing my exercise, and getting in plenty of water. I hope the downward trend continues! Thanks again for all of your support!

Question: What’s your favorite day of the week? Saturday and Sunday excluded!!

My favorite day is probably Thursday. I have that mentality of “I can stay up later since there’s only one more work day to get through”, and I also love Thursday night TV. Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, and Jersey Shore, anyone?

Comments

so for the majority of my life, I thought Hawaiian pizza was super weird but then I tried it in college and fell in love. It’s one of the few ways I can eat pineapple without my stomach exploding in acid…so I’m kind of in love with it. I can’t wait to see the recipe that you come up with!
